Synopsis: Improvements in transportation have made the Polar Regions more accessible to tourists. Snyder, a consultant, and Stonehouse (Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, UK) look at environmental, cultural, and economic aspects of polar tourism. Contributors to the book, all professionally involved in different aspects of polar management, explore ship-borne tourism, adventure tourism, private expeditions, and scenic overflights in specific polar tourism markets, and discuss resource management techniques. The readership for the book includes researchers in tourism, ecology, and environmental studies, as well as those developing sustainable tourism in the region.
